Hi guys,
Have decided that the old Kilwell 9 weight and the wide arbour that never get used are about to be sacrificed to the SWF Gods. I've got the floating line and a few odd looking , if somewhat weighty, flies to fling.
Now where's the best place to start? Ideas fellas?

I'll be in Auckland in the next few days if you want to try and tee up a sortie Vig... No offense BA but CD flyrods are tomato stakes in my humble opinion.. The Kilwell will be a better stick than anything they can offer.
Just my opinion, the only rods of theirs I have cast and liked broke, and those that didn';t weren't, in my opinon, worth casting.

Good stuff Cicada....
....if you need/want a burley dispenser you know where to find me...
Huh? You vomit alot? heheh sorry mate, couldn;t resist!
You make a lot of sense re the Kahawai... (craig's favorite fish LOL)... the more I flyfish the more i respect as one of the truly great light tackle sports fish in the world.. well my world, which is kind of small, but you know what i mean... :)
Kahawai Vig, I fish a 9wt for them and I wouldnt be keen on a king at all. I know a dandy spot for them in a month or so....
Clarks Beach on the Manukau at night under the light from low tide up could be worth a crack although I have never fished there is supposed to be good.
Didn't even know they named a beach after me
. A nine weight should handle small kings to about 8 kg... over that ... you'd be kinda screwed...
Clark
I think maybe the Kahawai shoulkd be the first target, they fight like buggras anyway. Yeah Clark keen to hook up!

Happy to take you out to said area anytime so you can have a crack at that

Clark took time out of his day to come and have a bit of a chin wag and gave me some fine advice and a couple of brilliant pointers about fly and SWF.
Thanks so much Clark I really appreciate it. Just after you left the postie arrived with some new Cabelas goodies for the tackle box. Very excited. But I have to say the yanks are getting progressively odder....
In amongst the marketing detritus, that accompanies anything fun from Cabelas, was a flyer for an "orchard tree' - grows 5 different kinds of fruit at the same time.
And we thought Genetic Modification was going to be used badly...you see totally safe!! hehehehe
My wife made the sign of the cross for protection and she's Jewish!
Will attempt to post pics of lures...mmmm yummy.
Thanks agin Clark great talking with you and look forward to catching a couple with you soon.
Cheers, Vig
